Question

F1 36° 48° F3 F2 The diagram, which is not drawn to scale, shows three forces acting at a point. F1 = 32 N, F2 = 68 N and F3 = 54 N. Calculate the magnitude and direction of the resultant of the three forces. Express the magnitude of the resultant force in N to 1 decimal place and the direction as the angle between 0 and 90° that the resultant force makes with the horizontal, to the nearest degree. Magnitude: 19.7 N Angle: 38° Your answer is partially correct. Consider each direction independently, then add the resultant horizontal and vertical components to find the overall force. You can use Pythagoras' theorem and the trigonometric ratios to find the values you need.
